* "This is the best we can do" doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement on policy change, but at least the bipartisan sentencing reform bill has a chance to see the light of day.

[Law360] * Speaking of corporate scandals, the Petrobras corruption scandal has already cost an estimated $5 billion in losses.

[Wall Street Journal] * The Dewey trial's hing jury mirrors the dysfunction of the Dewey & LeBoeuf partnership.
